SangeanPR-D18RD AM/FM/Portable Digital Radio with Protective Bumper (White/Red)

This is exactly what I had been looking for. A battery powered radio with good reception and a sleep timer. Small but powerful radio with a good quality sound. It also has an alarm so the radio can wake you up in the morning. The last Sangean portable radio I had lasted 37 years with daily use. I purchased this one as the replacement.

Cute size, sleek in the black colour, buttons at front are easy and big enough for my 75 yr old mother to work the radio, she loves it. Nice sound quality, auto-seek feature is great

El radio bien! Ninguna queja con eso. Con lo que tengo una queja es con el pago de envoltura para regalo de Amazon.Es la segunda vez que lo pido y no viene un producto envuelto, además de todo no veo opcion alguna para levantar este tipo de queja.El radio muy bien 100%recomendable.

Aparte que coge pocas emisoras y además con ruído de fondo, a las pocas semanas dejó de funcionar y se apagó definitivamente. Puesto en contacto con el vendedor varias y reiteradas veces para dar una solución, después de varios meses todavía estoy esperando que se dignen, al menos, a responder. Me siento estafado.

There's been some reviewers disappointed that despite "digital' being in the items description it's not a DAB radio, but an old fashioned AM/FM model with a digital type display.We live in regional NSW and with no DAB outside the state capital cities we have no need or desire for a DAB radio with FM being the main delivery around here.We needed a radio with a sensitive FM tuner as we're between ABC transmitter towers - 100+ kilometers or 65 miles away from our home.This radio replaces a very good Sony portable slightly larger radio which recently gave up the ghost. I'd say the FM reception with the Sangean is on a par with it. i haven't tried out the AM band.We didn't purchase the official 6v power supply, instead I've tried a similar 5v supply we have here already. It worked well, but as some have reported when you tune to a distant FM station with some background hiss you can discern a low level static sound which isn't present when powered from the batteries.The antenna is long enough to receive FM stations on a quarter wave which is appropriate but not always provided with similar units.All in all a very nice unit which does the job well on FM.Edit: I've tried the AM band and can advise that Aussie users must switch the tuning gap between stations from the default ten pips gap when tuning to nine as our stations typically run 612, 621, 630 and so on. Refer to the radio instructions to effect the switch which is then saved.
